    Operation This topic provides a brief description of the theory of operation. The 60 GHz cnWave devices support Facebook connectivity Technology called Terragraph. The cnWave devices are implemented using IEEE 802.11ay WLAN standard and using 60GHz frequency band for wider spectrum and higher capacity. cnWave devices can provide multi-gigabit throughput from 100M to 1.5 KM.

  • Page 44: Configuration And Alignment

    Configuration and Alignment All configurations are done on E2E Controller, except for the initial configuration, to connect the PoP DN to E2E Controller. The configuration parameters are: PoP/DN/CN Deployment of nodes The configuration of cnWave nodes is handled automatically by the E2E service. However, the first PoP node must be configured manually since connectivity to the E2E controller has not yet been established.

  • Page 45: Antenna Alignment

    Prerequisite tasks: Complete a Link Plan with the help of a Link Planner from Cambium Networks. This prerequisite task provides the information on the RSSI expected for the PTP link. This must be used as target while using the antenna alignment tool.
  • Page 46 The Antenna Alignment page Figure 32: Note If the alignment is initiated from a CN, ensure that the operating channel is set on the radio (before alignment). If the channel is not set, you must set the required channel in the Configuration page of the V3000 single node UI. 3.
  • Page 47 Note If the alignment is initiated from a device (which is not running with Onboard Controller), perform the following actions: a. Disable the ignition of the link at the Controller. b. Send Dis-assoc for the link from the Controller. c. When the alignment starts, select the required node from the Remote Node Model drop-down list.
  • Page 48 The Time Frame section (located at the bottom of the Antenna Alignment page) displays the RSSI time series, along with the peak RSSI time and the latest data point (on the right end of the plot). The RSSI time series and the heatmap plots get updated every six seconds. This is due to the processing time taken for a complete sweep of all the combinations of beams and channels.
  • Page 49 If a cell is highlighted and the time series reporting RSSI is more than 10dB off the expected RSSI, then it is necessary to sweep beyond the current position of both azimuth and elevation, in turn to ride past the sidelobes. Figure 36: An example of the receive level when aligning - Link planner 6.
  • Page 50 On correcting the elevation mismatch Figure 38: When there is an azimuth mismatch (as shown in Figure 39): Example of the azimuth mismatch Figure 39: Figure 39, the angles are exaggerated to show the point. In this example, consider that the radio has been misaligned in azimuth by 2 degrees to the right behind the unit (from an installer’s view side).
  • Page 51 On correcting the azimuth mismatch Figure 40: 7. When you achieve the desired alignment and RSSI, click the End Alignment button located at the top left side of the Antenna Alignment page. If you do not click the End Alignment button, the alignment cycle ends automatically after 15 minutes.
